Eric ended the call swiftly and drove straight toward Maple Bay.

Visiting Quentin’s home wasn’t unusual, but this time felt strangely different.

Moments after pressing the bell, Quentin appeared in the doorway.

Before he could speak, Ernest quietly shut the door, careful not to disturb the boy’s focus.
